First of all, Valentines Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candies or flowers to your husband or wife if youre married, or to your boyfriend or girlfriend if youre not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentines Day?One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like Valentine. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentines Day recalls his tragic death.On Valentines Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentines Day box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.（1） Which of the following is true about Valentines Day? A .

I like it because it has mountains, the sea and history. The mountains are not very high. In China you would probably call them hills rather than mountains as they are less than 1,000 meters high, but there is something wild about these mountains you get a feeling of space and freedom. You can walk for miles without meeting another person.Northumberland is full of history. There are seven castles, some of them were ruined and the others still there as they were centuries ago. You can find graves going back to prehistoric（史前的）, times and strange carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded because the weather is unpredictable and the North Sea is very cold! People dont go for seaside holidays to Northumberland because of the cold sea and weather, so even in high season there arent many tourists.There is an island called Holy Island off the coast of Northumberland, you can get to the island by car or on foot when the tide is out. There is also one castle I particularly like. It is a 14th century castle which stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is almost completely ruined, but it looks dramatic and romantic because you can still see the gate and two of its owners. On a summers day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your mind wander as you look at this dream-like castle. On a winters day you can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so long against the forces of nature.I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this castle by the sea was the most beautiful place in the world. She laughed and said there must be many more dramatic places in the world. In one way, Im sure shes right, but for me, its not just about what a place looks like, its about what it says to you.（1） In China people probably call them mountains which are _ 1,000 meters high. A . less thanB . nearlyC . more thanD . almost（2） How are the seven castles in Northumberland? A . They are modern and fantastic.B . They are all complete and magnificent.C . Some hasnt changed at all for centuries.D . Some are full of strange carvings.（3） Not many people visit the beautiful beach because of _. A . the soft sandsB . the cold sea and weatherC . the warm seaD . the island nearby（4） Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the reason why the author likes the 14th century castle? A . It was built in the 14th century on a cliff right by the sea.B . It looks very dramatic and romantic with two towers but no gate.C . The author can let his mind wander as he looks at this dream-like castle.D . The author can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff.（5） From the last paragraph in the passage, we know _. A . the authors friend agreed on his opinion about the castle.B . the author doesnt think there are many more dramatic places in the world.C . the authors friend pays no attention to the beautiful scenery.D . what the author cares is not only the scenery but also the feeling he can get from it.（6） You can get the passage from the following materials EXCEPT _. A . science fictionB . journalsC . newspapersD . magazines19. （8分） (2018广州模拟) 阅读理解As Sam slowly woke, he got a funny feeling in his stomach.
